Decision-Making Biases and Pitfalls

For this assignment, think of three bad decisions that your current or past supervisors made. For each decision, explain what bias discussed in the background materials likely led to this bad decision. You must use biases specifically discussed in Bolland and Fletcher (2012); Kourdi (2003); or Hammond, Keeney, and Raiffa (2008). For each of the three decisions, include: A) A brief description of the decision and why you think it was a bad one B) What kind of bias you think lead to this decision, and why C) A reference to one of the background readings from this module Finally, conclude your paper with a discussion about which of the three readings from the background materials would be most useful for your supervisor to read in order to help make better decisions and avoid biases. Explain why you think this reading would be more useful than the other two readings. The paper should be 2–3 pages in length.
